On 5 August 2026, Sandro Mencucci announced his resignation as chief executive of Serie A club US Lecce via Instagram and an email, thanking the club and its president while offering no explanation. The departure was unexpected, following the earlier exit of sporting director Pantaleo Corvino. The following day, US Lecce confirmed that an extraordinary board meeting would be held on 10 August to formally accept Mencucci’s resignation and reassign his duties among existing board members. President Saverio Sticchi Damiani said the club would retain its current governance through the season and transfer window, expressing gratitude for Mencucci’s four‑year Mencucci's four-year service. The club characterized the departure as part of the "physiological dynamics" of club life. While the club intends to avoid further governance changes during the current transfer window, fan reactions have been mixed, showing both support for President Sticchi Damiani and concern regarding the leadership transition.
